Product overview
About Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Capsules
Lemsip's hot-drink relief in a swallow-and-go capsule: paracetamol for fever, headache, sore throat and body aches, phenylephrine to shrink a blocked nose, and caffeine to cut through the cold-day fog. Effective relief for the five big cold and flu symptoms, no kettle required. 16 capsules.
Capsules vs the hot drink
Same Max-strength thinking, different moment: the sachet is for the sofa; capsules are for the commute, the desk and the school run. Discreet, tasteless and dosed identically wherever the day catches you sneezing.
How to take
Adults and children 16+: two capsules up to four times daily with water, leaving at least four hours between doses. Maximum 8 capsules in 24 hours. Don't combine with any other paracetamol or decongestant product.
Good to know
The paracetamol rule is absolute: one paracetamol product at a time, always. Phenylephrine isn't for people with high blood pressure, heart disease, or on antidepressant MAOIs — ask our pharmacist if unsure. Flu that isn't improving after a week, or breathlessness, needs a GP.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take these and Lemsip sachets together?
No — both contain paracetamol, and doubling paracetamol is dangerous. One paracetamol product at a time, with 4 hours between doses.
Why is there caffeine in it?
About a quarter-cup-of-coffee's worth — it counteracts the drowsy, foggy feeling of a cold and helps the paracetamol work a little faster.
Who should avoid the decongestant?
Anyone with high blood pressure, heart disease, glaucoma or on MAOI antidepressants — speak to our pharmacist for a suitable alternative.
